Good stuff. It wouldn't occurr to me to categorize graeber under the same umbrella of atomizing post-left philosophy as foucault, but this crit makes a great argument.
I don't view his theory of bullshit jobs as an absolute explainer and critique (since it came from a rather random observation, with massive feedback & confirmation) but rather as a good example of how corporate neoliberalism has reached a level of absurdity and internal crisis, that should be abolished ASAP. The only real criticism I have with it, is that it treats the solution of this less as a political struggle and more as a organizational problem, cuz in the end capital has to be confronted and destroyed. Anyway, it's still a good contribution for the left.
